I don't know if ths suits the category, but I wish there was an Inspiration category. This poem is about realizing how lucky I am to have my husband in the chair even if he leaves his shoes beside the chair.

The Shoes Beside the Chair


 


He leaves his shoes beside his chair


And sometimes it upsets me


When I see yet another pair


There on the floor beside me.


 


I think again and thank the Lord


His shoes are there beside the chair


They tell me he’s still with me


And I don’t care the shoes are there.


 


It matters not what others think


If his shoes are there beside the chair


It matters more to me he’s here


Beside his shoes, because I care.


 


-Emma L. Willey
